Today was our first day back at school after our 7 week long Summer holiday. This time last year, I probably would have been dreading the first day back but today was good. It didn’t even feel like we’d been on holiday, it just felt like it had been the weekend and we were coming back to school. Yea, in all the classes there was a little intro to get back into the swing of things but for the most part we had already started our work 2 weeks before the summer holidays. Secondly, everyone was still the same 🙂 There were even 2 new girls. One from South Africa.. I’m quit interested to talk to her and get to know her. When my friends told me, I was so so excited. I love meeting people from different countries and cultures. It’s so interesting! so, school was great. I hope I really enjoy this year 🙂

You may be wondering what I was on about when you read the second part of the title – Vegetarian Week. No, I am not a vegetarian right now but I have always wondered what it would be like to be one. If it’s easy or hard, if you have less energy from the protein your loosing, if everyone is prone to having Anemia if they don’t eat meat from the lack of protein. Yes, these thoughts were going through my head. Recently, my cousin came up with a brilliant idea of having a week of being a vegetarian , just to see what it’s like. You can check out how it went for her last week here: ( http://mylifelizabeth.wordpress.com/2013/08/19/my-last-week/ ) So, yesterday I was with my friend Rachael and I was reading this blog post my cousin had wrote at the time and I told her about it. Rachael and I thought we’d give it a go. One reason why we’d both do it at the same time was maybe to motivate each other. Now, I have had to do a little more motivating because Rachael already last night ate a piece of chicken lol!! I am proud, I haven’t ate any meat yet and I don’t think I will. I think I’ll manege. Some how I don’t think it will be too difficult at all. Breakfast and lunch I don’t eat meat anyway. It’s just dinner but so far so good. I’ll keep you updated 😉 For me, it’s chicken that I eat the most with a lot of meals so I’ll have to some how substitute that but I am excited to try.

Today was also wonderful. I spent the day with my cousin. She is leaving this Monday:( but today was great! The weather was beautiful and Katharina, my auntie and I headed into Weilheim. I needed gifts so I maneged to buy most of them but some I will try to find tomorrow. We also went to a cafe to cool our self down with ice cream or in my case, milkshake:) We took the train back to Oma Ingrid where I just could not stop reading. I read and took a break for dinner and then kept reading until my Dad came to take me back to Oma Rita. I am almost finished so I am getting to excited to know the ending but so so nervous about what is happening in the book just now. It is seriously my favorite book so far!! I love it… And it is keeping me hooked until the end. I had to force myself to stop reading so I can actually get some sleep for setting of earlier tomorrow. It was such a great day!

Today we didn’t plan anything enormous but it did end up pretty busy. I needed a few things so I set of to a place called Schongau where I had already seen some things. Then, I came to Oma Ingrid and lay in the Sun for a while testing my new earphones which by the way are amazing! They are Philips and weren’t that expencive. The bass is so good and I don’t even have to turn it up half way before it blocks out any other surrounding noises.

We then took a trip into the village and I bought a shirt (you will see it in the pictures!) Katharina has the same one but in red and I of course have it in blue:D 7,50€!! What a bargin.

We walked back, ate Dinner and Katharina and I also sang and played a little guitar. We have two songs which we’d like to perfect. My Dads auntie then came to pick us up for ice cream. Yum!:)

I am back at Oma Ingrids and we have to wait for our friends and their cousins to drive here from the airport before we can leave because we have the keys for the guest houses they are staying at.

Apparently, its meant to be 30 degrees tomorrow. If so, I will be impressed! I really want to row on the boat again. So fun!

Today we went to Staffel See. On Sundays there is nothing open so the lakes are pretty busy. First of all I read some more of my book in the sun. it was boiling today too.. 🙂 After a while I decided to take the paddle boat and go on a boat trip round the island. It is so pretty there!
I actually went twice. Once with my auntie and my uncles girlfriend and then also with brother. I love these boats!! I think its so much fun to paddle.. We figured out after a while that its better just one person paddling. As I was enjoying it so much I paddled most of the time and then my brother also wanted a shot haha! I hope I can go back there and go on the boat again with more people:-) Afterwards, we also went into the Beer garden right near by. We ate dinner there. Then, I came back to Oma Ingrids for ‘Kaffee und kuchen’ (coffee & cake) and Katharina and I also took some pictures in Oma’s garden.

Tomorrow our friends from Inverness are flying to join us in Germany and also their cousins. I am excited to see them but it will also been 8 more people to try and keep happy with activities we do:D it should be super fun though!! we have to stay at oma Ingrids until around midnight to give our friends and their cousins the key for the guest houses they are staying at.

Today Katharina cut my hair. Now.. it was getting way to long so she cut it and I love it:-) it always feels so nice when your hair is fresh.

believe me, that took a while and we decided that the lakes were calling us. So we journeyed of to Weileim to my favorite lake where I did try to tan but that failed miserably because I am as pale as anything and I just can not tan. It’s impossible.

We came back then for dinner at Oma Ingrids and also played a bit of uno:-)

I know I know.. it’s midnight. I have a good reason for this which will come clear later 😉

Today I had such a productive day! I started my day curling my hair 😀

Then.. I made my friends little sister a gift bag for her belated birthday gifts to go into.

Then… I tidied my bedroom and had a clear out of my wardrobe. You all probably know that I am going to Germany in just over a week. This means I need to start packing soon and I thought I had too many clothes to choose from. I am very proud that I can get rid of these which are either too big or I don’t wear anymore. Maybe someone else can make better use of them:-)

At 5.30 I went to my friends house to give her, her gifts and stayed for a while to catch up with them. At around 6 I went up to my dads house for a BBQ with our friends who are joining us in Germany. We wanted to catch up before seeing each other in Germany. It was so so funny! we had our food and then played table football. I couldn’t stop laughing , it was hilarious!! of course.. my cat is cute as always!!

Now, here come the excuses. I arrived home at about 8.30pm I though ‘ah this is great. I can do a little workout, have a shower and then blog.’ Yes, I done all that but… this morning I had a small (*BIG) dilemma with my laptop!! I was on it normally and it started making weird noises and came up with a hold load of writing. So, scared I turned it off. Now, the on/off button comes on but the screen doesn’t. I was talking to one of my brothers friends and he gave me so so many things to do to try and make it work but it didn’t. Seriously, I’m going to go to him if I have any problems regarding technology. I wouldn’t of thought of even one of the suggestions he gave me. The solution may have to be that I go to get it fixed because it’s kind of hard when Timmy’s friend is in Spain so he can’t even see the computer. But hey, I have my tablet so it’s not the end of the world:-) Now, I have just been talking to my cousin. I am so tired now though…. my eyes are half closed. Time for bed.

I strongly disagree with animal cruelty and I have been trying my hardest to carefully choose make up products that aren’t tested on animals. I never know which one’s they are and so far the one’s that have held to their word are Gosh and Avon. My cousin (http://mylifelizabeth.wordpress.com/) sent me a link which say’s that Animal Cruelty is banned in the EU. I then went onto a website and it said Revlon do test on animals so now I’m a bit confused. Hopefully. Animal Cruelty is on it’s way out and until I know for sure that all brands are cruelty free I will use Gosh and Avon 🙂Please tell me if anyone knows anything(: Thanks!
